Viking Orchestra Program

Welcome to Jackson Orchestra!

Orchestra handbooks are given to students within the first two weeks of school. The handbook contains the Orchestra calendar dates in addition to many details about the Orchestra program. Please keep it on hand for reference. Students should also use their Jackson planning agendas for any additional communication for all classes. Please make sure that all students have the supplies needed for Orchestra class. An instrument and bow (rental info has been given to students), a lint-free cloth, rosin, a shoulder rest or rockstop, a method book ($10.00 for Beginning, $11.00 for Intermediate, and $10.00 for Advanced and Honors), and a 1/2" 3-ring black binder.

There are 4 different Orchestra groups here at JTC: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Honors. All first year players are put into Beginner orchestra, and are moved up the following year and placed into one of the top 3 orchestras based on end of the year auditions and progress throughout the year. These orchestras compete in various competitions and festivals; UIL, Peak Music Festival, Strikin’ Strings Music Festival, String Fest etc.
